Advertisers – including TripAdvisor, Nestle, Wayfair and Hulu – are dumping Laura Ingraham [W:908]

Re: Advertisers – including TripAdvisor, Nestle, Wayfair and Hulu – are dumping Laura Ingraham after

Morning ashurbanipal,

In normal cases I think that is correct, and I have already said that they can do whatever they want. Believe me when I say I am as disappointed in the advertisers as I am those on the political left that are encouraging, if not backing this move to bully voices off the air that they don't ideologically agree with...

The advertisers are getting gobs of free advertisement by getting mentioned in the news in exchange for sacrificing paid advertising during a single one hour TV show. They are simply betting that the possible loss of business from a handful of Ingraham supporters will be more than offset by gains in total sales from the free publicity by joining the advertising boycott of that single TV show.

Maybe. Hulu was one of them. I cancelled them.

I am sure that Hulu has suffered greatly from losing your account.

And you only want free speech for your side. So many posts of you whining about how these kids are for something you are against. Boo ho...

Criticizing someone =/= wanting them to be silenced.

You want to call it whine you go right ahead. Like I told another poster there's a reason, a profound reason Free Speech and all its forms are listed #1 in the Amendments and from your comments I doubt you know why.

When people of opposing views in political speech start dicking around through bullying tactics with the intent to silence the opposing view it needs to be called out. Now if you want to call that whining you go right ahead.

You've been whining for pages and pages of comments.

When you start speaking about the substance of different views as opposed to what a bad boy he is, you'll be worthy of speaking with.

The average far left type wound sooner swallow broken glass than listen to Ben. His logic is Kryptonite.

Logic ? He pretends he is fair and using logic but he also throws lies and half truths into mix.

He said Hogg called for a boycott minutes after Laura’s tweet.

How many people would call 8 hours later as minutes? Most would refer to 8 hours later as half a day later or hours later not minutes.

Who would call 480 minutes later, minutes later? Many. BTW, half a day later is 50% longer at 12 hours.

No, literally everyone would say hours later.

Yeah, they don't care about having subscribers leave or anything.

I'm not going to miss them, Netflix and Amazon have enough. You pay for Hulu, but still get commercials. This was just the push I needed to get rid of them.

Netflix hired Susan Rice to their board, and is talking to the Obamas about a recurring show for them to promote their platform.

That is part of any business - they simply hope to replace those that don't find their product/service appealing with more that do.

That's funny.

I listened to 10 seconds of the Youtube before he resorted to a straw man - "We've been told this story that all the Parkland survivors have innate moral authority and can speak on any issue without any criticism." Who is telling this story? I haven't heard it. Then he proceeds to mischaracterize Hogg's quote the same way someone on this thread did. This is in the first 42 seconds of video.... :roll:

Sound like typical right wing hackery to me. Certainly not worth 15 minutes of my time. Can you cite an article of his that particularly impresses you?

You’re getting the order screwed up, here.

The bottom portion happened first. The top portion happened weeks later.

Maybe it is my loss that I took 15 minutes to listen to that but I gave you the benefit of my doubt.

It was not a commentary. It was proganda and it full of lies. Hogg did not call for boycott immediately after Laura’s tweet.

He uses the same twisted misquotes ( blood on their hands ) you did in your posts and claims that is what David Hogg said.

He said Hogg called for a boycott minutes after Laura tweeted Tha collage whiner tweet.

Not true but that lie did help rile up his listeners , I bet.

It didn't take Hogg much time at all to respond to Ingraham's tweet complete with a list of her top advertisers to boycott. Then hours later tweeted a link to Media Matters that posted 100 other advertisers associated with Ingraham and FOX news to target.

Even CNN headlined one of their many interviews with Hogg 'Shooting Survivor calls NRA child murderers'
https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics...emma-gonzalez-nra-gun-control-intv-newday.cnn

They seemed to understand just fine what Hogg was saying.

Hogg's incendiary remarks targeting members of the National Rifle Association and politicians who accept contributions from them have been outrageous. Like the ones below

"They're pathetic ****ers that want to keep killing our children," said Hogg, (referring to the NRA). "They could have blood from children splattered all over their faces and they wouldn't take action, because they all still see those dollar signs."

"It just makes me think what sick ****ers are out there that want to continue to sell more guns, murder more children, and honestly just get reelected," Hogg said. "What type of person are you when you want to see more ****ing money than children's lives? What type of ****ty person does that?"

Pro-Gun Control Parkland Survivor on NRA: 'They're Pathetic F**kers That Want to Keep Killing Our Children'

Shapiro wasn't pushing propaganda. He logically addressed flawed arguments of Hogg .

I would point to CNN's Brian Stettler (sp?) outright admitting to letting Hogg put forth lies during his show, because he was wrong so often, Stettler felt he'd be rude to interrupt and correct Hogg so many times.
Another CNN anchor (forget her name) had to triangulate to broach the subject of his bullying, which he denied.

So, I think there's plenty of evidence to support Ben's position. Yes, they are sacred cows.

The upshot is that the patina of child-like innocence is quickly wearing off, and that has nothing to do with Ben or any other person who deigns to disagree and criticize.

It's lazy commentary to make up this "they" who are telling some "story" Ben finds convenient for his argument, then to mischaracterize Hogg's quote. And the comment was in response to someone who said his "logic is like Kryptonite" to we libs. I don't have anything against the guy, but I've not found him very impressive or his arguments challenging. There's a BIG gap between him and Hannity and his ilk, but that's like saying an adult in a room full of toddlers stands out for his intellect.

That's why I asked for an article. Youtube commentary is hard to get right, and smart people often make better arguments with the written word.

I wouldn't have any streaming services if I dropped them for having shows with leftists in their catalog. Though it doesn't speak well for a company that hires someone whose most noteworthy talent is being willing to lie about anything her boss wants her to lie about. Susan Rice, the Designated Liar.

.. .

Laura’s tweet was about 11:45 pm. David Hogg’s tweet was after 9 pm.

The boycott was in response to the tweet.

Maybe next time she will think before she hits the send button.

As you said there are lots of advertisers. This costs the the company time and money filling the time slots.
It is an inconvience, not an attempt to put her out of a job.

As Wayfair said in their statement.

“The decision of an adult to personally criticize a high school student who has lost his classmates in an unspeakable tragedy is not consistent with our values,”

Here is the statement from Trip Advisor:

The travel review company was second out of the starting gate, saying in a statement that they had "made a decision to stop advertising on [Ms Ingraham’s programme].”

“We believe strongly in the values of our company, especially the one that says, ‘We are better together’,” the company said. “We also believe Americans can disagree while still being agreeable, and that the free exchange of ideas within a community, in a peaceful manner, is the cornerstone of our democracy.”

The statement continued: “We do not, however, condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster. In our view, these statements focused on a high school student, cross the line of decency.”

There's another host on CNN that did the same thing and then said she didn't.

Since when did the loss of advertisers count as an attack on a person’s freedom of speech?

If there were a constitutional argument protecting advertisers as providers of freedom of speech, there would be millions of court cases involving YouTube users suing YouTube for demonetizing ads on their videos.
